Many semi structured information systems such as file systems and email clients allow data to be tagged as belonging in many categories. Some such systems support notions similar to emblems, where files can be semantically tagged as fitting into a broad category by associating a file with an emblem. This paper presents a file system that makes use of Supervised machine learning for the creation...

The Parts-of-file File System (PofFS) allows read-write accesses to different views of a given file or set of files in order to help the user separate and manipulate different concerns. The set of files is considered as a mount point from which views can be selected as read-write files via directories. Paths are formulas mentioning properties of a desired view. Each directory contain a file (th...

We investigate random variables arising in occupancy problems, and show the variables to be negatively associated, that is, negatively dependent in a strong sense. Our proofs are based on the FKG correlation inequality, and they suggest a useful, general technique for proving negative dependence among random variables. We also show that in the special case of two binary random variables, the no...

Big Data has indeed been the word which IT Industry is talking about lately. With advancement of automation and data being processed in real time, it has now become a necessity for companies to look forward to sustainable solutions to store their huge datasets and compute valuable information out of it. High performance computing heavily relies on distributed environments to process large chunk...
